In Alaska, you will lose your driving privileges after being convicted for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and therefore the state of Alaska will revoke or suspend your driver’s license/privilege to drive.  Subsequently, your motor vehicle driving record will show that the State of Alaska has convicted you of a DUI and your license has been suspended or revoked.  Now you will be required to follow the necessary steps and procedures to get your license reinstated after the suspension or revocation period has expired.

I came across this information while I was looking for new DUI laws and thought I would pass the information along to everyone.

According to the Illinois.gov statistics, 10% of all licensed drivers are under the age of 21, but, this same 10% are involved in 17% of alcohol-related fatal crashes.  Nationally, six people between the ages of 15-20 die in motor vehicle crashes every day.  Additionally, about 2 out of every 5 Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash at some point in their lives.  I know I was involved in one when I was 20 years old.

As I had mentioned before here is the second part of the most common DUI mistakes people make after being arrested for DUI.

6.  Not requesting that the officer be present at you motor vehicle hearing. I strongly suggest that you request that the officer be present at this hearing, if you do not do this you will have to subpoena the officer at a later date.  Furthermore, the hearing will be based off of the officer’s report, and you will not get a chance to hear the reason why the officer pulled you over in the first place.  At the motor vehicle hearing your attorney, if you hired one, gains an advantage to not only learn more about your case, but also to challenge the reason as to why you were pulled over and if the officer can’t justify the reason you should be able to get your license back.

This week the post will be divided into 2 parts, covering the 10 most common mistakes people make after being arrested for DUI.

1.    Not taking the matter seriously.  In most states you have ten days from the date the DUI occurred before you lose your license.  In the case of your license being taken at the time of the DUI because you failed or refused a PBT (Preliminary Breath Test) you will need to obtain a temporary license and request a hearing at the motor vehicle department within that time frame.  If you do not request a hearing you will have to wait until after the hearing or after the suspension period of 90 days to a year, depending on your state’s law.

Due to the ever-growing popularity of sobriety checkpoints, random DUI vehicle stops late at night, and the ability that cell phone users have to notify law enforcement of suspected drunk drivers.  Combine these facts with someone that has been drinking and doesn’t know all of his or her legal and constitutional rights, makes getting behind the wheel of a vehicle without knowing their blood alcohol content level (BAC) could prove to be an expensive and life altering mistake.
